Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an automatic mud-dying device for rushes that automatically mud-dyes rushes that are raw materials for tatami mats, mats, etc.

(Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and inventions) Rushes, which are raw materials for tatami mats, mats, etc., are subjected to a mud dyeing process after being harvested in order to maintain their quality.

The mud dyeing machine traditionally used by rush farmers is
A semicircular tank was constructed horizontally, and rushes were immersed in the muddy dye inside the tank using a water wheel. An example of this type of equipment is the "Igusa Mud Dyeing Machine" (Utility Model Publication No. 12807, 1983), which is a horizontal soil dyeing device.
However, in such a rush mud dyeing machine, as shown in FIG. 6, the bottom part 21 of the tank 20, which has an arcuate surface, is formed horizontally without being inclined, and While holding the rush bunch 22 horizontally,
Since the inside of the mud dyeing solution is transferred by the guide wheel 24 attached to the rush rush bundle 22, the water pressure of the mud dyeing solution is applied evenly to the entire circumference of the rush bundle 22 (from both ends in the longitudinal direction of the rush bundle). Since the air bubbles 25 accumulated in the rush bundle 22 and the air inside each rush cannot be completely removed, there is a problem that uneven dyeing is likely to occur on the inner and outer peripheral surfaces. The accumulation of mud was the cause of uneven mud dyeing.

The present invention was developed in view of these issues, and it can completely achieve uniform mud dyeing of the inner and outer surfaces of rushes at the same time, and the continuous stirring action equalizes the mud dye concentration and maintains quality. The object of the present invention is to provide an automatic mud dyeing device for rushes that can improve quality.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the intended purpose, the gist of the present invention is to create a cross-sectional structure in which one end has a large diameter and the other end has a small diameter. A U-shaped tank 1 is fixed to the machine frame 2 at an inclined angle, and the tank 1
A main shaft 3 is supported by a bearing metal and is mounted on the main shaft 3 at the center position in the transverse direction of Arrange the bone rods in diagonal rows,
The water wheels 5, 5', 5'', 6, 6', each having a wave-shaped outer peripheral surface, are fixed to the rods for each water wheel, respectively.
A chevron-shaped protruding rod A is attached to the inner peripheral surface in the rear direction of the tank 1 so that the amount of protrusion can be freely adjusted, and the tips of every other bone rod are fixed to water wheels 6 and 6' having different diameters. A stirring blade 7 is attached to the blade, a long hole 8 is opened at the tip of each stirring blade, and a prime mover 9 is connected to one end of the main shaft 3.
This automatic mud dyeing device for rushes has a plurality of rush guide rods 10 attached to the inner peripheral surface of the tank so that the power is interlocked.

(Function) In the automatic mud dyeing device for rushes constructed in this way, the tank itself is constructed at an inclined angle, the tank is further formed into a wide end, and stirring blades are attached to the stem of the water wheel, The rushes are immersed and transferred at an inclined angle, and the air inside each rush stem is completely eliminated by the action of natural and water pressure, and the inside of the rush stems is dyed with mud, and the rushes are exposed to the water wheel. By pressing and kneading the rush with a rod, the adhesive parts are released, promoting the penetration of the mud dye, and mud-dying even the binding parts, achieving simultaneous uniform mud dyeing of the inner and outer surfaces of the rush stems, as well as removing the mud from the waterwheel's bones. The continuous stirring action of the stirring blade attached to the tank made it possible to equalize the concentration of the mud dye.

(Example) Next, an example of implementation of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The automatic mud dyeing device for rushes of the present invention forms a tank 1 with a U-shaped cross section that widens at one end with an iron plate having a large diameter at one end and a small diameter at the other end. is fixed to the machine frame 2 at an inclined angle,
A main shaft 3 is supported by a bearing metal and mounted at the center position in the transverse direction of the tank 1, and an odd number of water turbine rods 4 are mounted on the main shaft 3 radially in the axial direction at equal intervals. The rods 4 are arranged diagonally in a row, and water wheels 5, 5', 5'', 6, 6' having a corrugated outer circumferential surface are fixed to the rods 4, respectively. A chevron-shaped protruding rod A is attached to the inner circumferential surface in the rear direction so that the amount of protrusion can be freely adjusted, and water wheels 6 and 6' of different diameters are attached to the tips of every other bone rod 4 to which water wheels 6 and 6' of different diameters are fixed. A blade 7 is attached, and a long hole 8 is opened at the tip of each stirring blade 7, so that power is coupled to one end of the main shaft 3 from a prime mover 9, and a rush guide rod 10 is installed on the inner peripheral surface of the tank. It is made up of a plurality of pipes attached. In addition, 11 is a drain port,
12 shows tied rushes.

When using the automatic mud dyeing device for rushes of the present invention configured as described above, first, install the device in a place suitable for the work, and pour a predetermined amount of mud dyeing liquid into the tank 1 to a certain position. Contain and store.
Next, a prime mover 9 such as a motor or an engine is rotated and rotated in conjunction with the main shaft 3 via a reduction gear, and the rotation of the main shaft 3 causes each of the water turbines 5, 5',
5'', 6, and 6' sequentially rotate clockwise in side view, and the mud dyeing liquid is applied to the waterwheels 5, 5', 5'', 6, 6' and each bone rod 4.
The rushes 12 tied to an appropriate size are continuously stirred by the stirring blades 7 and each water wheel 5,
By feeding the rushes at intervals of 5', 5'', 6, and 6', the rushes are forcibly transferred and immersed in the mud dyeing liquid at each bone rod 4, and the rushes that have been mud dyed are is 3 in order
As shown in the figure, the paper is sent to the back or to the front for automatic mud dyeing.

The automatic mud dyeing device of the present invention, which is used in this way, not only significantly improves the mud dyeing effect, but also makes it extremely easy to do the mud dyeing process twice, making it easier to dye rushes than before. It was possible to maintain extremely high quality, and it became possible to perform mud dyeing of rushes smoothly and with high efficiency.

(Effects of the invention) The automatic mud dyeing apparatus for rushes of the present invention is constructed and used as described above, and has the following effects.

(i) Since the tank 1, which has a U-shaped cross-section with a wide end and a large diameter at one end and a small diameter at the other end, is fixed to the machine frame 2 at an inclined angle, the water depth of the tank 1 is as small as the water depth. There is a big difference between the direction of the root and the tip, and the water pressure is stronger at the root of the rush bunch and lower towards the tip, so strong water pressure is applied from the root direction of the rush bunch and from the direction of the root. By applying natural pressure in the direction of the tip, the air inside the rush bundle and the air inside each rush stem is naturally and smoothly discharged, and each rush is evenly and evenly released from the inside and outside. You can do mud dyeing.

(ii) The water turbines 5, 5', 5'', 6, 6' and the chevron-shaped protruding rods A are operated as a pair, and when the rush bundle passes a little beyond the lowest part of the tank 1. , the rush bunch floats up to the position of the protruding rod A due to the buoyancy effect of the rush bunch itself, and the rush bunch floats up to the position of the protruding rod A, and the rush bunch floats up to the position of the protruding rod A,
The wave-like uneven surface of each water wheel is continuously rotating the rush bundle, which is prevented from floating by each of the 5'', 6, and 6' bone rods 4 and each protruding rod A, and is stopped at this position. The outer circumferential surface of the rush is continuously rolled and pressed while exerting a loosening action to promote the penetration of the mud dyeing solution into the rush bunches, dyeing the inner and outer surfaces of the rushes evenly. be able to.

(iii) Each stirring plate attached to the tip of each bone rod 4 has a hole in the tip, which prevents stirring resistance during mud dyeing work, and also prevents stirring when not in use for a long time. The resistance that occurs when re-stirring the solidified material such as dyed soil that has settled at the bottom of the container 1 can be eliminated, and the low resistance can make the stirring action smooth.
